I think you will be in the 3-5 minute range per routine. If you are just starting out, always have a few stand-by tricks to fill the time out. I would think about the routines in terms of interactions with the kids rather than patter. For more on this read \"Seriously Silly\" It\'s fine to have some story to go along with it, but think about how often the kids get to do something such as say (or yell) the magic word. The interactions may be one-on-one with a volunteer or with a group of kids. Pick up a copy of the Seriously Silly book by David Kaye and/or the video and this will give your a great idea of how much of the routine is the trick and how much is the business around the trick. Remember: It\'s not about the magic, the magic is just the excuse to have fun, laugh, and be silly. If they are amazed at that end, that\'s a great bonus.

I have also seen that a new DVD was released by the Great Zucchini, see also:

It focuses on the pre-school market which he excels in. I haven\'t seen it, but want to get it.
